So long as you can get your point across clearly, that's the key thing of value to the audience and what they should be grateful for.
Being a German speaker, you're in the fortunate position that the kind of occasional give-aways that you may have in your writing tend not to sound bad to native English speakers.
That's not necessarily true of people with much less closely related languages, where the mistakes can be really distracting and confusing. It tends to cause the worst impact when the writer's confidence far exceeds their actual ability and they do things like utterly misuse clichés.
The fact you've asked this is very thoughtful. Your question text above is clear and well written, so I don't think you've anything to worry about and would encourage you to give it a go (provided you feel comfortable and it isn't a burden).
Purely out of curiousity, I would be interested to hear how it goes - is it something that might be posted here in due course?
